hey everyone... so, i've been finishing up some projects that have been hanging over my head for a while. it's great to get things out of the way because suddenly old ideas push their way to the front of my brain. my latest kick is stripper-centric graphic novels/comeeks.![]()
i love comic books. i love to draw. and i love being a stripper. years ago dancing actually brought me out of a pretty solid funk and reinvigorated my interest in art, with an emphasis on female anatomy and humor...probably was the extra money. it's hard to sit down and draw when you're homeless and starving, as much as that seems the "norm" with artists i can't function on a basic level without a nice warm house and a full belly, let alone be creative. heh.
back to the point, i have drawn tons of character studies, jokes, and rough ideas for this but never put together anything cohesive. i was going to start writing, and base some of the cast off people that i've met/lurked at here on stripperweb...but then it occurred to me that some of you guys might want to design your own characters and put them in stories of your liking, and then i could just draw it, and that it would be totally brilliant. (please agree with me) for serious writers, i would consider monetary compensation (as opposed to just credit for story) for complete scripts, once plot and characters were squared away.
i really want to do this and if nobody goes for it, i'll do it on my own, but it would be amazing to collaborate on ideas for dialogue, stories, visuals, design aesthetics... you name it. i am pretty much open to ANYTHING as far as characters, story goes, and would love to make this something far-reaching, multicultural, dynamic, gritty, sensual, poetic, grotesque, dark and light... sort of sandman-esque, to namedrop one of my influences.
here's a little graphic i made about the idear, which has a silly picture of my head and a couple of drawings just so you know i'm not screwing around about having the art skills to pull off something like this... i'm not the world's greatest artist, but i definitely do not suck either! one of my best friends is a total digital-art badass, and she'd be my colorist if i asked.
holler at me if this sounds like something you think would be fun!!
edit: attached pic, now maybe it works? figured i'd attach some more art...it's kinda old furry art but i like it. that's kind of the look i go for. cute. i don't really draw furries anymore though, i like drawing humans!
